The article details the emergence of 01flip, a new ransomware written in Rust, which has begun targeting organizations in Southeast Asia. The attackers have compromised systems and are potentially selling stolen data on dark web forums. Initial access was gained through exploiting older vulnerabilities, leading to the deployment of the ransomware across both Windows and Linux devices.

The VanHelsing ransomware-as-a-service operation leaked its source code, including the affiliate panel and Windows encryptor builder, after an ex-developer attempted to sell it on a hacking forum. While the leak provides some useful tools for threat actors, it lacks key components like the Linux builder and databases, which could have aided law enforcement efforts. This incident highlights the ongoing trend of ransomware source code leaks facilitating new cyber attacks.
